* Huge upward movement on Scott Pilgrim, with the latest (still in pre-order) rocketing up thirty-six places, and vols 1-3 also showing up in the rankings.

* Batman RIP, also as a pre-order, shoots up the charts as well. Not exactly sure why the sudden movement, although it fits in with the general Bat-mania on the Amazon charts.

* Naruto volumes come out of pre-order and jump up too. It appears that Viz released four volumes simultaneously to the bookstore market (which I don't think they did via Diamond).

* The shine seems to be wearing off for the Spider-Obama comics in the third-party market. With five printings now available, it must be the case that everyone who wants a copy probably has one. How long until they're selling for $1 on eBay?

* The Stuff of Life: A Graphic Guide to Genetics and DNA debuts surprisingly high on the list; perhaps the result of writer Mark Schultz appearing on NPR's Science Friday last week?
